Benjamin Pech was nominated Etoile after the performance where he danced Giselle AND Frederi in l'Arlésienne. Due to the injuries of M. Legris and M. Martinez, he replaced them and received the great consecration as Etoile !

I was wondering why they let Benjamin danced L'Arlesienne after Giselle in same evening on 9/22 (considering so many dancers in the company). then Brigitte came on stage to announce the promotion.
then Benjamin danced Giselle again on Friday (9/23). he must be so tired dancing so much

A gentle reminder about posting information that may fall into the category of gossip and/or non-public information. If you click on 'courtesy' in the top right corner, you can read (in English or French) our courtesy rules.

In this case, we ask that people only post casting information that is public knowledge - i.e. posted on a company or theatre website (NOT a forum or message board), in the public area of the theatre, in the program or on stage. Casting is an immensely tricky and complicated process, and companies, for good reasons, may not want the public to know about changes until the performance.

We understand that some posters may have access to backstage areas and dancers, but we would expect those posters to respect our courtesy policy and the privacy of dancers and companies. This includes not posting comments by dancers or staff unless they specifically give their permission.
